Deacon Vernon Dobelmann: 1/22/2026

 Time’s Up!

The Art of Finishing Well

Do you remember taking standardized tests in school with time limits for each section? I can still hear the words, “Time’s up. Put your pencils down.” What was your typical reaction when you heard those words? Did you quickly count how many questions remained unanswered? Did your heart sink because of the unfinished work? Did you feel confident about successfully answering many of the questions correctly? Did you not care about any of this because it was an irrelevant standardized test? Were you just happy to be in possession of a #2 pencil?

What will be your reaction at the end of our time here on earth when the hourglass runs empty? 

What role did faith play in all of your endeavors—family, work, parish, local community, hobbies, recreational activities etc.?

What is the end result?

“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

OR

“I never knew you.”

Let’s plan to run the race to the finish and complete it well.

Speaker Information

Deacon Vernon Dobelmann, Mission Speaker

Deacon Vernon grew up on a family farm outside of Old Monroe, Missouri. He graduated from Northeast Missouri State University with a degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology.  His first job out of college was as a police officer for the St. Louis County Police Department.  Eventually, he followed in his father’s footsteps and went to work for Ameren UE for fifteen years. 


Deacon Vernon was ordained to the diaconate on June 5, 1999, which kicked off an entirely different life journey. In July of 2000, his full-time ministry started as Director of Religious Education (DRE) in the Diocese of Pueblo, CO. In addition to Deacon Vernon’s accomplishments as a deacon, he held several other important roles in serving Christ and the Church which included the Vocation Director and Deacon Director for the Diocese of Pueblo and the Director of Pastoral Ministries and Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Cheyenne. To quote Deacon Vernon “Bottom line, regardless of the title, are we glorifying God in our work?”  

Deacon Vernon is a two-time survivor of cancer. He survived both chemotherapy and open-heart surgery. He shares his inspirational journey about hope and healing in his book, “Articulating Hope.”
